• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WB795 - Version &1 is acive and cannot therefore be deleted ?

  The SAP error message WB795 indicates that you are trying to delete a version of a report or a planning object that is currently active. In SAP, versions are often used in various modules, such as SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation), to manage different states of data or configurations.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the version you are attempting to delete is currently active. This means that it is being used in some capacity, and SAP does not allow the deletion of active versions to prevent data loss or inconsistencies.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to deactivate the version before attempting to delete it. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  
  Check Active Status: Verify that the version you want to delete is indeed active. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or report where the version is managed.
  
  
  Deactivate the Version:
  
  Go to the transaction or application where the version is maintained (e.g., transaction code WB01 for version management in BW).
  Locate the version you want to delete.
  Change its status from active to inactive. This may involve selecting the version and choosing an option to deactivate it.
  
  
  
  Delete the Version: Once the version is inactive, you can proceed to delete it without encountering the error.
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies or references to the version in other processes or reports that might prevent it from being deactivated.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for version management in your specific SAP module (e.g., WB01, WB02, etc.).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed instructions on managing versions in your specific context.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to deactivate and delete versions. If you do not have the required access, contact your SAP administrator.
